One of my choirs is singing at a wedding next week so we've been learning a new song these last few weeks. The soloists sing their parts beautifully, and the piece sounds great. However, I don't agree with the sentiment of the words and so it's a bit pesky when I keep waking and the song in my head is going "all we need is just the two of us". I've blogged before on how I don't do "the other half" concept - I don't think _all_ we need is one other person. I think it's fab if we do have someone we can commit to for life and prioritise, but I think all we need is love, and love comes in many forms and in _every_ person: the stranger in the shopping queue who gives you a wide smile, the friend you only catch up with once in a blue moon, the distant relative you barely know but makes up part of who you are.
My boyfriend is going back to work tonight after a week off following an op. I've not seen any more of him this week tho than I would usually as he didn't want the dog jumping up on his stitches (and given how enthusiastically my dog loves my boyfriend, that was going to be impossible to prevent). He is someone whose company I enjoy and look forwards to - but he is by no means the only one - and he wouldn't be right for me if he expected to be! Some days as I'm travelling into work I feel very blessed to know I'm going to encounter lots of people - in the building where I'm based, on the phone, in the clinics where I go out to work, and that my main aim in life is just to love them as best as I can in that moment. My dreams come true every minute, and not just because I'm also lucky enough to have met a kind and loving partner. We have enough love for everybody - the more we give, the more there is to give.
Time to play some other tunes to see if I can shift Shania...
